Comments by the CEO – A step closer to the future’s opportunities

It is with great joy and pride that I reflect on our strong first quarter of the fiscal year. We continue our impressive growth journey, reaching a milestone by achieving breakeven at net income level, which marks a new phase in Quickbit’s development. With growth of 46 percent compared to the previous quarter and a whopping 1737 percent from the same quarter last year, we reached a net turnover of € 75.7 million. October also became a record month with revenues of € 36.4 million, indicating that profitability is within close reach. 

Our growth is not just numbers; it reflects a dynamic market and our ability to deliver innovative solutions. During the quarter, we continued to welcome new customers and strengthen partnerships, while interest in our products and services significantly increased. Crypto-related services are becoming increasingly in demand, not least in a time of changing macro-economic conditions. Our participation at Money20/20 in the USA further confirmed this, where we had the opportunity to meet several of the largest players in the crypto industry. The American market offers enormous potential, and we look forward to exploring these opportunities in the future.

One of the quarter’s most exciting initiatives is the launch of Corporate Wallet, a key product that strengthens our B2B offering. This solution makes it easy for companies to manage cryptocurrency, a capability that becomes increasingly relevant as the importance of cryptocurrency in the global financial system grows. Corporate Wallet has clear synergy with our existing product portfolio and creates opportunities to both deepen our relationships with existing customers and attract a broader customer base.

We have also, with great interest, noticed Stripe’s acquisition of Bridge, a platform focused on stablecoins, for $1.1 billion USD. It is a clear indication of the growing interest from global players for innovative crypto infra-structures. Our own Corporate Wallet stands as a competitive solution in this rapidly growing segment, and we see great opportunities to capitalize on this trend.

Looking forward, we see continued strong demand for our products and services, giving us high hopes for a powerful end to the year.

Finally, I want to express my gratitude to our owners, board, management, and staff for their trust and hard work. Together, we are building a company that not only meets today’s needs but also shapes the future’s opportunities.

The future is bright, and we are ready to meet it.

Kind regards,

Daniel Sonesson
